BuzzJack Music Forum _ TV Shows _ The TV Ratings Prediction Game: W/C 9th March
Posted by: April Mar 8 2015, 02:10 PM
We've decided to trial a prediction game for overnight TV ratings in a similar style to the one which appears for the charts forum. There are 10 programmes to predict - with ratings given to two decimal places. The correct ratings for the purpose of this game are those provided by Digital Spy (i.e. tape-checked but not including +1 figures). You'll receive 10 Points for a perfect prediction, and 9 Points if you are 100k out, 8 points if you are 200k etc. until you reach 1 Point for 1m out.
For example, if Death In Paradise rated 6.66m - this rounds to 6.7m. If you predicted any number which rounds to 6.7 (i.e. 6.66-6.74m), you would receive 10 points. If you predicted rounds to 6.8 or 6.6 you receive 9 points etc. until 7.6 and 5.8, which would receive 1 point. If you get an exact prediction to two decimal places, you receive a bonus 2 points in addition to the regular points. For example if you predicted 6.66m you would receive 12 points.
I hope that hasn't confused anyone! Much more straight forward, there are two bonus questions which could earn you 5 points for each correct question.

Out of interest, what is Corrie's lowest ever overnight rating? And presumably you're referring to its clash with Match of the Day?
Posted by: April Mar 8 2015, 02:32 PM
It's clash with Comic Relief too. I'm expecting some very low ratings for it this week. I'll just check.
Posted by: liamk97 Mar 8 2015, 02:35 PM
Oh yes, completely skimmed past Comic Relief!
I think Corrie's lowest may be around 5.5m (which is actually alright for a lowest rating).

Its three lowest overnight ratings are:
4.86m (21.3%) - 5th July 2013 (against Wimbledon)
4.90m (19.0%) - 7th December 2014 (against Strictly Come Dancing)
5.03m (21.6%) - 20th February 2015 (against EE Live / EE Backstage)

Thanks - wow, lower than I expected! I suppose the 5.5m figure I had in mind may be its lowest cumulative rating.

Surprisingly, in 2011 and 2013 when Corrie clashed with Comic Relief, its ratings remained above 7 million, so I doubt it will do as bad as sub-5m this year.
